The Valley of the Giants is a forest in Walpole-Nornalup National Park on the south coast of Western Australia, about 42 km in a straight line west of the town of Denmark. It is one of the main draws of the area, and the park is famous for its towering karri and tingle trees. Red tingle trees grow nowhere outside the Walpole area, and some are enormous, with wide hollow trunks. To see them from above, the Tree Top Walk was built: a 40 m-high walkway that can take wheelchairs, made of lightweight steel trusses 60 m long set on steel pylons to form a secure ramp. The walkway sways gently among the treetops, carrying visitors through the green crowns and branches of the giant trees high above the distant forest floor. Beneath it, a ground-level path called the Ancient Empire winds among the tingle trunks, where you can stand inside hollow trees, some big enough for several people. Entry to the Tree Top Walk is paid. The walkway moves in the wind, so it may not suit those afraid of heights, and the forest is damp and cool in winter, so bring a jacket.
